What’s driving voter turnout? Some voters tell WBZ News Radio it’s all about the governor’s race.

Others say it’s the ballot questions. There are three state-wide ballot questions that deal with the elimination of the sales tax on alcohol, repeal of the state’s affordable housing law, and cutting the state’s sales tax rate by more than half.

There are also nine contested Congressional races.

John Walsh, chairman of the Massachusetts Democratic Party, tells WBZ News Radio he thinks a high turnout will benefit his party.

I had four ballot questions, the last being,”Should my representative (Keenan), be instructed to vote yes on marijuana legislation. It was a “non-binding question.
When I spoke to a friend, she said that that question was not on her ballot sheet.
I voted absentee due to a disability. Were people singled out for this “question”?
